Troubleshooting

Formatting your hard disk drives in Windows 95

If a hard disk drive is used that has not been formatted for Windows
95 systems, you will need to prepare the Disk for its first use with
the FDISK and FORMAT commands in the DOS directory of your
system disk. Before you can use these commands you must enable
Int 13 support for the drive.

Follow these steps to enable Int 13 support:

1

Go to the Control Panel.

2

Double-click on the System icon.

3

Click on the Device Manager tab.

4

Double-click on Disk drives.

5

Double-click on the icon for the Disk attached to your
MiniSCSI 1350.

6

Click on the Settings tab.

7

Click on the Int 13 Unit field in the Options section.

8

Reboot for the change to take effect.

Once you have completed initialization of the disk, you can repeat
the above procedure to disable the Int 13 support of your Disk. This
may improve performance.
